Nothing else is know abt her – any info would be greatly appreciated~
As for Elizabeth – we are needing death and if in fact she died in a ‘poor house’ we have collected most documentation on Elizabeth and it is her ‘birth’ and ‘death’ we are needing the most~ Any help would be appreciated also on this~
